Integrating whole transcriptome assays on a lab-on-a-chip for single cell gene profiling

ABSTRACT: To correlate gene expression profiles to fundamental biological processes such as cell growth, differentiation and migration, it is essential to work at the single cell level. Gene expression analysis always starts with the relatively low efficient reverse transcription (RT) of RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA), an essential step as unprocessed RNAs will not be analyzed further. In this paper, we present a novel method for RT that uses microfluidics to manipulate nanoliter volumes. We compare our method to conventional protocols performed in microliter volumes. More specifically, reverse transcription was performed either in a poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) rotary mixer or in a tube, using single cell amount of mouse brain RNA (10 pg), and was followed by a template-switching PCR (TS-PCR) amplification step. We demonstrate that, using the microfluidic protocol, 74% of the genes expressed in mouse brain were detected, while only 4% were found with the conventional approach. We next profiled single neuronal progenitors. Using our microfluidic approach, i.e. performing cell capture, lysis and reverse transcription on-chip followed by TS-PCR amplification in tube, a mean of 5000 genes were detected in each neuron, which corresponds to the expected number of genes expressed in a single cell. This demonstrates the outstanding sensitivity of the microfluidic method. Keywords: Single cell, transcriptome, PDMS, microfluidic, reverse-transcription (RT), template-switching, lab-on-a-chip

Comparison of RNA Amplification Techniques meeting the demands for the Expression Profiling of Clinical Cancer Samples

Project description:For microarray experiments starting with nanogram amounts of RNA it is essential to implement reproducible and powerful RNA amplification techniques. Available methods were mainly tested for reproducibility, only a few studies concentrated on potential amplification bias. We evaluated three amplification protocols, which are less time-consuming than the commonly used T7-RNA polymerase based in vitro transcription protocols and therefore may be more suitable for clinical use: Template Switching (TS)-PCR (SMART-PCR Kit, BD), Ribo-SPIA (single primer isothermal amplification, Oviation, Nugen) and a random primer-based PCR. Additionally a more sensitive labeling method, Dendrimer-labeling (Genisphere), was evaluated. All methods were compared to unamplified RNA labelled at reverse transcription. Hybridizations were carried out on a targeted two-colour oligonucleotide microarray. From our results we conclude that RNA amplification with TS-PCR is highly reproducible and results in a reliable representation of the starting RNA population. We then assessed whether RNA amplification of clinical breast and thyroid cancer samples with TS-PCR showed robust performance when altered cycle numbers or partially degraded RNA were used. According to our experiments TS-PCR proved to be a very reliable method for global RNA amplification, even when starting from partially degraded RNA down to a RNA Integrity Number (RIN) of 4.3.

A novel global cDNA amplification technology directly from an RNA template via reverse transcription

Project description:We developed a method, Reverse Transcription with Random Displacement Amplification (RT-RamDA), to reverse transcribe and amplify cDNA directly from RNA templates using strand displacement and RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity. This method resulted in a cDNA yield approximately 100-fold higher than conventional RT with high sensitivity, enabling gene expression profiling of low-expression genes with a small amount of RNA, such as that obtained at the single-cell level.

Single-cell full-length total RNA sequencing uncovers dynamics of recursive splicing and enhancer RNAs

Project description:We report a novel single-cell total RNA-seq method, RamDA-seq, by combining a novel reverse transcription (RT) technology, RT with random displacement amplification (RT-RamDA), and not-so-random (NSR) primers. RT-RamDA provides global cDNA amplification directly from RNA during RT without any universal adopters, which benefits RT efficiency, simplification of the procedure, avoiding the step of PCR amplification, and decontamination of genomic DNA. NSR enables random priming while preventing cDNA synthesis from rRNAs. RamDA-seq showed high sensitivity to non-poly(A) RNAs and full-length coverage even for extremely long transcripts (>10 kb). Moreover, RamDA-seq revealed recursive splicing, a multi-step, splicing, within > 300 kbp-long introns. Finally, RamDA-seq enabled the first genome-wide analysis of enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) in single cells.

The transcriptome profiling of multi-cell types by the droplet based full-length single-cell transcript sequencing

Project description:We developed a scalable Tn5-based Full-Length In situ Transcriptome sequencing method (scFLIT-seq). This method combines the advantages of in situ reverse transcription of methanol-fixed cells, single-cell separation and barcode ligation via the 10X scATAC-seq protocol and microfluidic platform, and Tn5-mediated fragmentation and tagging of cDNA. Various cells treated with different concentrations of methanol were used to validate the efficacy of this method. The efficacy at the single-cell level of this method was validated on a mixed cell population of HEK293T and NIH/3T3 cells.

Selective retrieval of individual cells from microfluidic arrays combining dielectrophoretic force and directed hydrodynamic flow

Project description:Hydrodynamic-based microfluidic platforms enable single-cell arraying and analysis over time. Despite the advantages of established microfluidic systems, long term analysis and proliferation of cells selected in such devices require off-chip recovery of cells as well as an investigation of on-chip analysis on cell phenotype; requirements still largely unmet. Here, we introduce a device for single-cell isolation, selective retrieval and off-chip recovery. To this end, singularly addressable three-dimensional electrodes are embedded within a microfluidic channel, allowing, through application of a negative dielectrophoretic (DEP) force, the selective release of single cells from their trapping site. Selective capture and release is carried out in standard culture medium and cells can be subsequently single cell mitigated towards a recovery well using hybrid SU-8/PDMS pneumatic valves. Importantly, transcriptional analysis of recovered cells revealed only marginal alteration of the molecular profile upon DEP application, underscored by equivocal minor transcriptional changes induced upon injection into the microfluidics device. Therefore, the established microfluidic system combining targeted DEP manipulation with down-stream hydrodynamic coordination of single cells, provides the means to handle and manipulate individual cells within one device.
